The Nashville CVB is still feeling the effects of the flood that paralyzed the city last May. The CVB is asking for a $300,000 no-interest loan from city tax dollars set aside for convention center operations to cover the expense that helped keep two major conventions in Nashville after the flood.
The May flood closed the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, leaving two major conventions without a venue. The CVB was able to keep the Moose International and Future Business Leaders of America conventions in Nashville, but the groups had to spread out at nearly three dozen hotels.
